Left behind in Kenya, children of British soldiers struggle to find their identity

    The biracial children of Kenyan women and visiting British soldiers have long led uneasy lives in Kenya. Now a local lawyer is taking some children to Britain to confront authorities about hundreds of such cases reported over the years. He also wants to find the fathers and seek their support. It's a gamble after years of attempts by human rights groups to hold the British military and its personnel accountable for their actions while training in Kenya – including alleged rapes – and the children they leave behind.
